It’s really good you are already experimenting with lighting considering you have only being doing portraiture for 3 months – many people are scared of off camera lighting so well done for getting stuck in!

I think it would improve your images to invest in a relector though – or even experiment with a home made tin foil one, or simple piece of white card to give you an idea of how they work etc.; as currently the unlit side of your subjects is getting lost within the dark background. With some reflected light you would retain some detail of the other side of your subject while keeping the low key effect.
